Chapter 185 Population Gap (First Update)

From initially appearing on Sasuke's side to watch the show, to later arriving at Naruto's side, severely injuring Obito, and scaring Konan away.

Finally, he arrived at Jiraiya's place and destroyed Pain. Hawking had timed everything perfectly.

If he hadn't timed it perfectly, at his speed, it probably wouldn't have taken him more than twenty minutes to cover all three battlefields and eliminate all the enemies.

His purpose in doing so was quite simple.

That is to deliberately demonstrate one's value, so that what one does will seem more significant to the Konoha ninjas and to Tsunade.

Otherwise, if the problem were solved easily in no time, it would make one's help seem worthless.

This is the same principle as seeing a doctor.

If a doctor can spot the symptoms when you first fall ill and cure your illness with a simple prescription, you might think your illness is nothing special, the doctor's skills are nothing special, and it's not even worth paying much for the consultation.

But when your illness has reached the point where it's almost killing you, and the doctor finally diagnoses the problem and saves you with all sorts of expensive medicines, you'll inevitably think that doctor is a miracle worker and be willing to pay a lot of consultation fees.

In fact, if he didn't have any bottom line, Hawking could have waited until Konoha was destroyed by Akatsuki before taking action, so that he could have obtained the greatest benefit from Tsunade.

However, he wasn't too worried that Xiao would immediately make a comeback after he disappeared.

He didn't hold back before. Even with Karin's help, Sasuke couldn't have recovered so quickly, and Obito's bones were basically shattered. He was only barely kept alive by Zetsu's cells.

With all six Paths of Pain destroyed, Nagato would have to go back and create new Six Paths of Pain to regain his strength.

The only one who wasn't injured was Xiao Nan, oh, and there was also Zetsu hiding behind the scenes.

But it doesn't matter. Not to mention that Konoha isn't completely devoid of fighting power, he had already noticed many powerful chakra fluctuations heading towards the village before he left.

Several of the familiar chakra fluctuations belonged to Guy and Rock Lee, among others.

It must have been Tsunade who sent out the message for help, and the Five Kage Alliance, which was specifically formed to capture Akatsuki, rushed over.

If things are already like this, and something unexpected happens in the end, then he can only apologize. He is not a saint; he can only seek benefits while ensuring his bottom line, not act as a babysitter.

"There are still too few people in the Naruto world. Saving Konoha doesn't earn you much justice."

Back in the Marvel universe, Hawking checked the progress bar of his justice score on the panel and found that it had only increased slightly, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Saving people in the Marvel universe earns you a justice rating, and so does saving people in the Naruto universe.

However, compared to the Marvel universe's population of six or seven billion, the entire Naruto world's population is only around ten million.

As for the number of people he saved in Konoha today, not counting the ninjas on the outer defense line and those on missions, the total number of ninjas and villagers in the village was less than 10,000.

Therefore, it naturally doesn't have much of a justice value.

Even if he stopped Kaguya Otsutsuki's Infinite Tsukuyomi and saved the entire Naruto world, his justice score might not be enough to unlock a new protagonist template.

Looking at it this way, Marvel is still better. Events of destroying a country are common, events of destroying the entire Earth are not uncommon, and events of destroying the entire universe only happen occasionally.

As long as you survive, you'll never lack justice points.

Shortly after Hawking's disappearance, Kai and the other experts from four other villages finally arrived in Konoha.

"You've finally arrived."

On the first battlefield, Tsunade, who had come to provide support with Shizune, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Darui talking to Kakashi.

The five-kage joint team that captured Akatsuki consisted of top fighters from five hidden villages. The leader was Darui, the third-best fighter from Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage's bodyguard, the sole inheritor of the Third Raikage's Black Lightning Release, and also possessed the Storm Release bloodline limit.

"Hokage-sama, it's our responsibility that Konoha has become like this. Leave the rest to us!"

After learning about the events and the Akatsuki members from Kakashi, Darui led a group of skilled fighters towards the mountain that Hawking had pointed out earlier.

For more than a month, they couldn't even find a trace of Akatsuki, which led to Konoha being attacked by Akatsuki, making their joint team a laughing stock.

Now that Xiao has been severely injured, they naturally cannot let this opportunity pass.

"This time, thanks to Hawking, otherwise not only would Naruto have been captured, but Konoha would have suffered a fatal blow."

After the joint team left, Jiraiya spoke to Tsunade.

Tsunade nodded solemnly:

"I underestimated Akatsuki's strength. If we can't capture them this time, I will hold another Five Kage Summit and gather all the power of the entire ninja world to deal with them."

"That's fine then, but have you thought about what to do when Hawking comes tomorrow?"

Jiraiya suddenly laughed.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately covered her forehead:

"Hey, give it to him, give him everything. Give him whatever ninjutsu he wants, after all, he saved the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

Hawking's value was fully demonstrated in this Akatsuki attack; he was absolutely a trump card among trump cards, and it would be entirely worthwhile to win him over even with all the ninjutsu available.

"Lord Hokage, the two advisors are dead. They died at home."

Just then, an ANBU member appeared in front of Tsunade and Jiraiya in a flash.

Tsunade and Jiraiya's faces immediately showed complex expressions.

The two advisors had been a check on the Hokage's power, so their deaths weren't necessarily a bad thing. But they were, after all, elders of Konoha who had made many contributions to the village and were their seniors. It would be a lie to say they weren't sad at all.

"Looks like it's Sasuke's doing."

While various post-war cleanup efforts were underway in Konoha, things were also going on in the distant caves.

"It failed. The ninjutsu couldn't be used, and the Heavenly Path was also defeated."

"Jue, your intelligence was flawed!"

Nagato, panting heavily, looked sternly at Zetsu, who had emerged from the ground.

With a laugh, he walked towards Nagato.

"There's nothing I can do; even I can't guarantee that the information will be accurate."

Nagato frowned; he sensed something was amiss from Zetsu.

"Nagato, are you alright?!"

Just then, countless pieces of paper poured in from the hole, gathered around Nagato, and transformed into the shape of a woman.

It was Konan, who was worried about the danger to Nagato's main body after Obito escaped, who rushed back in time.

Seeing this, Juejian stopped moving forward.

With Konan protecting him, he almost didn't possess and control Nagato.

At the same time, a vortex appeared in the cave, and Obito returned there with Sasuke.

However, he was clearly somewhat surprised when he saw Xiao Nan.

He thought that Xiao Nan would be captured by Hawking after he escaped, but he didn't expect her to escape back.
